Tools for School

JFS is launching its Annual Tools for School Program, a powerful project which prepares children who are living on the fringe or below the poverty level with the tools they need to feel prepared, motivated and proud to attend school. Over 3,000 backpacks with necessary school supplies will be distributed during the month of August to children of JFS clients through our SOVA Community Food and Resource Program, three domestic violence shelters and various other service programs.
